Note that Active HDMI cables are directional. Check each end for markings indicating whether it should be connected to the source or the display device. Connecting them backwards will not hurt anything, they just won't work until connected properly.

Note also that only one Active HDMI cable should be present in any single cable run, even if using a switch, splitter, or matrix. Connecting multiple active HDMI cables in series will cause them to fail to reliably transmit the video signal because each is trying to do the same thing.

These cables are great. The ends are clearly labeled TV and Source, so make sure you get the right end connected to your devices. Used two to connect my Xbox One and HD DVR from my cable company. I like that these cables are very light, so there is just about no stress/strain on the connectors in your devices, which helps prevent miss-connects or reliability issues with the internal solder connections on the main PCB inside the device.

Good but doesn't work everywhere

Pros: Good quality
Small footprint

Cons: Doesn't work everywhere

I purchased this along with the Monoprice HDMI switch HDS-201. While using this cable and this switch, I had visible video bugs on my computer monitor. When I switch the hdmi cable for a good old typical one (also from Monoprice), the video bugs disappeared. So I can't use them for this particular scenario.

Still gave a good rating because of the build quality and because I know that for typical usage, they work perfectly (I have one hooked up from iPhone HDMI adapter to TV).

by Monoprice AdministratorHello,

Thank you for your review and truly sorry to hear about your experience with PID 9889. Can you describe you setup including all cables and devices in use? Redmere is an active cable and is recommended to connect from the switch directly to the TV. Can you verify that the redmere cable is connected directly to the TV rather than from source to switch? Can you also confirm that the source end is connected to the switch and the tv/display end is connected to the TV?

To further isolate the issue, what happens when you connect the redmere directly to the TV without the switch? Any changes when connecting to a different device? Please let me know. Thank you for your cooperation in the matter.

Great HDMI cable

Pros: Small. Reliable signal carrier.

Cons: None

This is my second order of this cable. It is tiny compared to other HDMI cables and looks great. These cables are directional so make sure to plug the Source and TV ends into the correct HDMI ports.

Redmere Rules!

Pros: Awesome cable...so slim and bendable...unlike those earlier thick cables that Monoprice used to sell. Not to mention you can't beat the price!
